In less than one week, the annual Planet Beach & HOTWORX Convention will commence at Harrah’s Hotel in Lake Tahoe. This beautiful lake is nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains and straddles the state line between California and Nevada. This perfect venue gives way to picturesque views of verdant mountains in the distance aside a glistening lake that expands in every direction.

This year’s Convention is filled with training events, expert panel discussions, guest speaker appearances and evening socials. Although the agenda is filled with an array of activities, there is one highly anticipated event that has grown in popularity over the past several years. The annual outdoor workout is one of the most exciting and transcendent experiences hosted during the four-day event. This annual tradition began in 2016 atop the roof of the LINQ Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. This year, we are excited to bring this event to Lakeside Beach, which overlooks Lake Tahoe.

Led by a team of HOTWORX Virtual Instructors, participants are guided through a series of isometric postures that emulates the isometric workouts conducted virtually within the HOTWORX Infrared Sauna.

The patent-pending HOTWORX unit was designed as a 63-square foot, modular infrared sauna to allow for a 15 minute HIIT or a 30-minute isometric, small group, hot exercise session. The screen inside the unit is equipped with our proprietary software and delivers a variety of virtually instructed workout videos.

This year, we have introduced the first Virtual Instructor Competition which will take place during the Convention and will involve a series of judging interviews, a Virtual Instructor Q&A, and of course, the live outdoor workout at Lakeside Beach. There will be 5 Virtual Instructors selected on the final day of the Convention, so they must convince the audience that they have what it takes to deliver exceptional workouts to thousands of HOTWORX Studio members every day, 24 hours a day across the world for the next year.

This year, we will see which aspiring Virtual Instructors make their participants earn the burn while they take in the beautiful views and indulge in the scents of fresh pine and crisp mountain air. We want 5 motivated individuals that want to help spread the HOTWORX mission of creating more workout in less time. Log on to the HOTWORX Facebook page on Tuesday, July 31^st at 1:30 p.m. PDT to watch the workout live and to comment on your favorites.
